 DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
With reference now to the drawings, and in particular to FIGS. 1 through 7 thereof, a new storage device embodying the principles and concepts of an embodiment of the disclosure and generally designated by the reference numeral 10 will be described.
As best illustrated in FIGS. 1 through 7, the beach storage assembly 10 generally comprises a pole 12 that is insertable into sand 14 on a beach having the pole 12 being vertically oriented. In this way the pole 12 extends upwardly out of water of an ocean during incoming high tide. The pole 12 has a first end 16, a second end 18 and an outer wall 20 extending therebetween. The first end 16 is open and the pole 12 is hollow. The outer wall 20 has a first aperture 22 extending into an interior of the pole 12 and the first aperture 22 is spaced from the first end 16 of the pole 12. Additionally, the outer wall 20 has a second aperture 24 extending into the interior of the pole 12 and the second aperture 24 is spaced upwardly from the first aperture 22. The pole 12 may have a length ranging between approximately 1.0 m and 1.5 m.
A plurality of legs 26 is each coupled to the pole 12 and each of the legs 26 is oriented perpendicular to the pole 12. Each of legs 26 abuts the sand 14 thereby retaining the pole 12 in a vertical orientation. Each of the legs 26 is positioned on the outer wall 20 of the pole 12 and each of the legs 26 is aligned with the first end 16 of the pole 12. Additionally, the legs 26 are spaced apart from each other and are distributed around the pole 12.
A plurality of fasteners 28 is each coupled to the pole 12 having each of the fasteners 28 being oriented perpendicular to the pole 12. Each of the fasteners 28 threadably engages the outer wall 20 of the pole 12. The fasteners 28 are spaced apart from each other and are distributed from the second end 18 of the pole 12 toward the first end 16 of the pole 12. The plurality of fasteners 28 includes a first set 30 and a second set 32 of fasteners that is each positioned on opposite sides of the pole 12 from each other. Moreover, a bottom most pair 34 of the fasteners 28 is spaced at least 12.0 inches from the first end 16 of the pole 12. Each of the fasteners 28 may comprise an eyebolt or other threaded fastener.
A plurality of couplers 36 is each removably coupled to a respective one of the fasteners 28 having each of the couplers 36 being suspended from the respective fastener. Each of the couplers 36 includes a gate 38 that is pivotally coupled thereto. The gate 38 on each of the couplers 36 is biased into a closed position and the gate 38 on each of the couplers 36 is urgeable into an open position. Each of the couplers 36 may comprise a carabiner or other type of openable coupler.
A spike 40 is slidably positioned in the pole 12. The spike 40 is positionable in a deployed position having the spike 40 extending outwardly from the pole 12 for driving into the sand 14. The spike 40 is positionable in a retracted position having the spike 40 being concealed in the pole 12. The spike 40 has a bottom end 42 and an upper end 44, and the bottom end 42 tapers to a point for piercing the sand 14. A grip 46 is positioned around the pole 12 for gripping and the grip 46 is centrally positioned between the first 16 and second 18 ends of the pole 12. The grip 46 enhances gripping the pole 12 for driving the spike 40 into the sand 14.
A lock 48 is movably coupled to the spike 40 and the lock 48 is biased to extend outwardly from the spike 40. The lock 48 is spaced downwardly from the upper end 44 of the spike 40. The lock 48 releasably engages the first aperture 22 in the pole 12 when the spike 40 is positioned in the deployed position. Additionally, the lock 48 releasably engages the second aperture 24 in the pole 12 when the spike 40 is in the retracted position.
A plurality of storage pouches 50 is each releasably coupled to a respective one of the couplers 36. In this way each of the storage pouches 50 is positioned above the waves of the ocean during incoming high tide. Each of the storage pouches 50 has objects 52 positioned therein for storage to inhibit the objects 52 from getting wet during incoming high tide. Each of the storage pouches 50 has a front wall 54 and a back wall 56. The front wall 54 has a top edge 58 that is spaced downwardly from a top edge 60 of the back wall 56 to define an opening 62 into the pouches 50. Additionally, the back wall 56 has a hole 64 extending therethrough for receiving the respective coupler 36 and the hole 64 is aligned with the top edge 60 of the back wall 56.
Each of the storage pouches 50 may be comprised of fluid impermeable material for protecting contents of the storage pouches 50 from moisture. Each of the storage pouches 50 includes a closure 63 that is aligned with the top edge 58 of the front wall 54. The closure 63 engages the back wall 56 for opening and closing the opening 52. The closure 63 on each of the storage pouches 50 forms a fluid impermeable seal to inhibit sand from entering the storage pouches 50. Additionally, the closure 63 on each of the storage pouches 50 may comprise a zipper, a multiple use adhesive, a hook and loop fastener or any other type of closure than can form a fluid impermeable seal.
A speaker 66 is coupled to the pole 12 for emitting audible sound outwardly therefrom and the speaker 66 is positioned on the second end 18 of the pole 12. A transceiver 68 is coupled to the pole 12 and the transceiver 68 is electrically coupled to the speaker 66. The transceiver 68 is in wireless electrical communication with a remote audio source 70, such as a smart phone or the like, for receiving an audio signal from the remote audio source 70. The transceiver 68 may be a radio frequency transceiver or the like and the transceiver 68 may employ Bluetooth communication protocols. A power supply 71 is positioned in the pole 12, the power supply 71 is electrically coupled to the transceiver 68 and the power supply 71 comprises at least one battery.
In an alternative embodiment 72 as shown in FIGS. 3, 4 and 7, a pair of the poles 12 is provided. The outer wall 20 of each of the poles 12 has a first well 74 extending inwardly therein and the first well 74 on each of the poles 12 is spaced from the second end 18 of the poles 12. Each of the poles 12 has a second well 76 extending inwardly therein and the second well 76 is spaced downwardly from the first well 74. Each of the poles 12 is spaced apart from each other on the beach having the first 74 and second 76 wells in each of the poles 12 being directed toward each other. Continuing in the alternative embodiment 72, a net 78 is provided that has a first rod 80 being coupled to a top edge of the net 78 and a second rod 82 being coupled to a bottom edge of the net 78. Each of the first 80 and second 82 rods is insertable into respective ones of the first 74 and second 76 wells for stretching the net 78 between the poles 12. Additionally, each of the storage pouches 50 is coupled to the net 78 and the storage pouches 50 are spaced apart from each other and are distributed along the net 78.
In use, the pole 12 is taken to the beach and the spike 40 is positioned in the deployed position. The spike 40 is urged into the sand 14 on the beach until the legs 26 abut the sand 14. Each of the storage pouches 50 can have an object positioned therein for storage. Thus, the object in each of the storage pouches 50 is spaced upwardly from the water during incoming high tide. In this way the objects 52 are inhibited from getting wet if a user inadvertently forgets about incoming high tide. Thus, the user can enjoy the beach without worrying that the objects 52 will get wet or be washed out to sea. Additionally, the transceiver 68 can be synched with a smart phone or the like in the convention of Bluetooth audio for streaming audio from the speaker 66.
With respect to the above description then, it is to be realized that the optimum dimensional relationships for the parts of an embodiment enabled by the disclosure, to include variations in size, materials, shape, form, function and manner of operation, assembly and use, are deemed readily apparent and obvious to one skilled in the art, and all equivalent relationships to those illustrated in the drawings and described in the specification are intended to be encompassed by an embodiment of the disclosure.
Therefore, the foregoing is considered as illustrative only of the principles of the disclosure. Further, since numerous modifications and changes will readily occur to those skilled in the art, it is not desired to limit the disclosure to the exact construction and operation shown and described, and accordingly, all suitable modifications and equivalents may be resorted to, falling within the scope of the disclosure. In this patent document, the word “comprising” is used in its non-limiting sense to mean that items following the word are included, but items not specifically mentioned are not excluded. A reference to an element by the indefinite article “a” does not exclude the possibility that more than one of the element is present, unless the context clearly requires that there be only one of the elements.
